Russell Brand has become a DAD for the first time as ‘he announces the birth at his stand-up gig’

The comedian , who is engaged to Laura Gallacher, is said to have revealed the happy news on stage at Nottingham Playhouse and social media users have started to tweet their congratulations.

Fan Daniel Crann, 29, exclusively told Mirror Celeb: “He didn’t confirm if it was a girl or a boy.

“He was conscious of the clock and made sure he was off stage by just approaching 9pm as he ‘needed to get down the f***ing M21 as my girlfriend has just had a baby’.”
